# Sponsoring MindWork AI Studio
AI Studio is free to use, and sponsors help keep its development going. Companies and individuals can sponsor us, and as a thank-you, we show our sponsors on the supporters page inside the app. This page explains how that works, especially for companies who would like to see their name and logo there.
## How to sponsor
All sponsorships run through [our GitHub Sponsors page](https://github.com/sponsors/MindWorkAI). Pick a tier there; its description tells you whether it includes your name or your logo in the app. GitHub handles the payment, and organizations can also pay by invoice through their GitHub billing.
When you sponsor, tick "Receive email updates from MindWorkAI". This is how we reach you, for example to ask for your logo. We have no other contact channel for sponsorships.
## Your logo in the app
For a tier which includes your logo, we need:
- your logo as an SVG file,
- one version for light and one for dark backgrounds, because AI Studio has a dark mode, or a single version which works on both,
- the name and the web address your entry should link to,
- your permission to show your name and logo in the app.
The source code of AI Studio is public, so your logo file becomes part of our public repository as well.
Your entry appears on the supporters page with the next release after we have received everything. It stays as long as your monthly sponsorship continues; when the sponsorship ends, we remove the entry with a later release. One-time sponsors stay listed among the one-time contributions. Releases which have already been published keep showing the supporters page as it was at the time.
## What sponsoring does not include
- **No influence on the project.** Sponsoring does not buy a say in our roadmap, in the review of pull requests, or in our priorities. We decide about AI Studio independently.
- **No endorsement.** Showing your logo does not mean that we endorse your products, and it does not make your company a partner of the project.
- **Our right to decline.** We may decline a sponsorship or remove an entry, for example when the activities of a sponsor conflict with the goals of the project.
## Other ways to support us
Code, documentation, and good bug reports help us as well. Our [contribution guidelines](../CONTRIBUTING.md) explain how to contribute, and the supporters page thanks contributors, too.
